Happy 1st Birthday Ty Ty.

To My Sweet Baby Ty Ty,

Happy Happy Happy 1st Birthday! This has been the fastest, crazies, most exhausting, and most rewarding year of my life.

One year ago tomorrow you were born in the comfort of our home in a room full of strength and love.  When you were put in my arms you were so quiet.  It took you a minute to let out your first cry and even that didn't last more than a few seconds.  You snuggled into me and just looked around at the big, cold, bright, new place and fell asleep.  Those first few minutes of your life sum up your personality to a T. You were the hardest baby to grow but have been the easiest, sweetest, snuggliest, little man since you took your first breath.  You've sat through volleyball practices, t-ball games, and long runs with me without a peep. You could live your life being carried around all day and be perfectly happy.

It's no secret that you were a HUGE surprise in our life...But EVERY day I am thankful God blessed us with you. I'm thankful for you snuggliness...your infectionous belly laugh...your sweet, sweet personality...the way you just go with the flow of our crazy life...but most of all I'm thankful for how having you made me realize that my life was missing something I didn't even know I needed.

 

In the last few weeks you've started to find your voice in our house and learned that to be heard above your crazy brothers you need to be LOUD.   You're also not afraid to join in their antics without a second thought...climbing, wrestling, and always trying to keep up.  Raising you and your brothers is no joke. You are a busy bunch....But what makes it all so much easier is how each of you love your mama oh so much...And what I want you to know not just today but every day...is that I love you more than you will ever know...at least not until you have your own babies and watch your heart walk around outside of your body every.single.day.

Happy Birthday Baby Ty Ty. You will forever be my favorite surprise of a lifetime.

Love, Your Mama.
